Chris said that if there is a vault, the grave can be located with a probe. If the grave is older, then ground penetrating radar could be used. Check also with your state and see if it tracks burial grounds and registers them. They may be able to find it based on records. <br /><br />Let me know if you have any luck!Joy Neighborshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06517577511576153582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177479069889847827.post-30220565762793183712013-11-08T18:24:52.740-06:002013-11-08T18:24:52.740-06:00How can I find out if a body is still under the gr...How can I find out if a body is still under the ground where the family cemetery was?

I am basically aware of all of the necessary steps, but have not thought much about the costs... which will add up in a hurry. Thanks for the article and the alternate idea to simply place a marker in the new location (which generally will require the purchase of a grave lot - about $1000 &amp; up). With the added cost of a marker, you will still need about $2000 or more, but still lots less expensive than re-interment and can keep the family &amp; the church happy, if needed! John G.
